Episode 9: The Retirement Account Trap
M.C. Laubscher here, and welcome to Infinite Banking Daily, where you get your daily dose of the best alternative wealth building strategies.
Today we tackle the sacred cow of personal finance: the 401(k) and IRA. You've been told to max these out your entire career. But have you ever stopped to ask who really benefits? Your money is locked away for decades. You can't touch it without penalties. Wall Street charges fees every single year—whether your account goes up OR down. And when you finally retire, you'll pay taxes on every dollar you withdraw. Is this really the best strategy for building wealth?
Key Takeaways:
Today's Mental Shift: Retirement accounts aren't designed to make you wealthy—they're designed to keep your money in the system. The wealthy build systems they control, not systems that control them.
Resources Mentioned:
Keywords: 401k alternatives, IRA problems, retirement account fees, tax-deferred trap, Wall Street fees, infinite banking, whole life insurance, financial freedom, wealth building strategies, become your own banker]]>
